THE RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED.
Upon reassembling in the afternoon

that it should be the pleasure of every

long enjoyed for fruit. Not only that

n QUEER PERFORMANCES
UnseemIy Troubles at the Tn
Ye.Iing of 6farffeld's statue.

| WASHINGTON, May 18th. Ex-
| Speaker KeIfer was not molested
in the delivery Of his Grafton today,
| although an effort was made to give
him trouble and embarrassment.
The scheme to cut him off at the
end Of twenty minutes by firing a
salute from battery stationed hard
by, failed through the bad manage
ment of some of Keifer's enemies.
They got the salute In the wrong
place on the programme, and it was
fired before he began talking. But
the conspiracy to embarrass the or
ator was carried beyond salating.
Leaders of two or three of the
bands in attendance were instructed
to begin their music promptly at 2
0 clock. The Grafton began at %,
and at 2 o'clock the drummers beat
quiet tattoo in a threatening way,
aud shortly after one of the bands
began playing.
1t was stationed within a hundred
feet of the speaker, who, it was sup
posed by the bandmen, had
intended talking some time longer,
but unfortunately for those who de-
signed cutting him off, he finished
a minute before the band began to
play, and Gen. Phil Sheridan, who
was commencing his acceptance
speech, was cut out instead of
Keifer.
General Sheridan was consider
ably incensed, and Immediately
ordered the music to stop. 1t did
so. No sooner, however, had he
spoken his first few words than an
other band, stationed on the oppo-
site side of the rostrum, began to
play under the impression that
keifer was still speaking.
President Cleveland then COM
menced to talk, and he had to stop
till the band could be checked. The
President and Gen. Sheridan were
not little perplexed, and their
friends were indignant, but Keifer
escaped through the wrath of his
designing enemies, and has been
compllmented on every hand for
the mastery manner in which he
delivered the grafton and its mag
nificent composition.
He says he never spent prouder
day in his life, that the affair passed
off far more pleasantly than he
could have hoped, and the congrat-
nlations he has received have come
largely from men he had classed as
his opponents.

WHO is shee

The APPEAL has received The
following printed communication
SAN FRANCISCO, May l2,-"Miss
Bertha Won Hillern. the Boston
artist, and Miss Belle Scott of Mil
waukee have retarned from de-
lightful trip to the Geysers and
redwoods, and are at the Palace
hotel. Miss Won Hillern is especi-
ally pleased with the scenery at the
Geysers, and with the grandeur of
the redwood forests, which remind
ed her of some old cathedral in
Europe, and has made sketches of
the most sombre parts Of the red
wood forest, which she will finish at
her studio in Virginia.
The APPEAL hasn't the honor of
knowing Miss won Hillern but
hopes next time she drops a
letter that she will write it in her
own hand and not print it. She
seems to labor under the idea, that
up in the wilds of Nevada we can
not read pen writing. In looking
ever our subscription lists we fail
to identify the name of Won Hillern
or Belle Scott.
How she can manage to be an
artist and compare the redwood
forest with some old European
cathedral" stumps US completely.
We never noticed any similarity.
Please be more precise about the
cathedral and state cost OF con-
struction and whether the pews are
free or go of at auction. About
stopping at the Palace. We would
like to know if the young ladies
merely register at the Palace or
board by the week Do they room
there aud take their meals out, or
stand up Clerk Smith for the whole
lay out.
Would a Nevada editor be al
lowed to call in the afternoon and
inspect the ''sombre sketches" on
this slight acquaintance, inaugu-
rated by the San Francisco CORE
spondents? The fact that the Gey-
sers please Miss Won Hillern, is
great relief. 1t shows that the
Geysers are all right. 1t. collect.

OUR DISTRICT FAIR.
Every body ShOuIa Help to Make
Et a Success

by county, this year, ought to bt
particularly desired by every citi
zen alive to home interests aud i'm.
provements, More work has been
done and will be done this year to
attract attention to the capabilities
of our soil and climate, than has
been done altogether IN the past.
Such work, pursued in a systematic
way, is sure to attract attention
from the home seekers, and it
should be the object of every citi-
zen to present our advantages in
every possible way. The variety of
our fruit products and their fine
quality are only half appreciated
by our residents. There is not one
of the mountain fruits that is not
better able to endure a long trip
than the softer and more watery
products of the valley. In taste
and flavor they are acknowledged
to be superior to them. 1t cannot
be doubted that such fruits will
eventually find their market, and
the present duty of our citizens
should be to work heartily for the
common interest of making these
resources known, and aiding in
thair davalonmant
The Fair, this year, should be
managed with a view to showing
our product to strangers. If the
work of advertising our county is
rightly pursued, there ought to be
many strangers ready to pay US
visit at Fair time, and the view of
our products ought not to be dis
appointment. Supporting the Fair
should be part of the general
plan of the county development.
The necessity for harmony and
earnest effort ought to be apparent,
and we hope to see things in such
shape this year that we shall have
exhibitors from all parts of the dis
trict, and number of visitors from
abroad to see what can be done
here. We regard this as one of the
prime features of the exhibit. If
we would reap the full benefit OF
the Fair, it must be managed so as
to secure the widest possible atten-
ton. We must catch the eye of
the man who does not know about
these things. The distribution of
premiums among our farmers is in
itself only temporary stimulant;
the full benefit is to be derived only
from its aid In making known the
capabilities of the District, and in
securing the investment of capital
here.
There is no place on earth where
such grass, cattle and horses can be
raised, as within a radius of so
miles of Carson, and the Fair will
make this fact apparent to every
body, Each citizen ought to send
in something by way of an exhibit
and this will stimulate greater en-
deavor In years to come Mason
Valley, Carson Valley and Washoe
will bring exhibits here, and it will
rival the State Fair in excellence.
